For the first time in years, Vanessa returns to New York
City. Sheβs there for work, but sheβs also using
this time to reconnect with her family and help out at the
family bodega.
While having dinner with her sister, Vanessa runs into an
old college friend. Her friend reminisces about the time
Vanessa became the βstarter exβ, where she would
date a guy and then be so terrible he would break up with
her. The right girl would then swoop in and seem like a
dream.
Lisa, Vanessaβs sister, is in love with her best
friendβs brother. Jason doesnβt look at Lisa
that way. She begs Vanessa to become the starter ex one last
time. Vanessa isnβt interested, but she relents.
Jason seems like a nice guy. Vanessa reels him in, and
this starts the cycle of bad behavior. All the while,
sheβs talking up her sister. But there are times she
forgets about the plan and gets lost in the moments with
Jason.
If you like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, this is the
book for you. Thereβs a twist involved that makes the
story. There are funny moments, as the couple tries to one
up each other with ridiculous behavior. They share parts
about their lives, both of which include a lot of baggage.
Their families add to the humor of the story as they attempt
to understand the dating situation. This romance is a fun,
fresh read. Β
